Moving Forward
Rocky Balboa was interesting. Final chapter of his life was different than what I had expected.
The theme was to keep moving forward. Thats what life is about. I found some similarities and things I could take to heart from watching this movie. Rocky was living in the past. He was thinking about all the good memories he had with his now deceased wife -- but as a result, he was killing himself by living backwards! I am living backwards at times because I admit I live in the past way too much and dream about what was and wasn't.
Rocky's wife didn't leave him, she died. Maybe I should just think of my ex as having died so I can be like Rocky. In the end it doesn't matter, memories are memories, and you have to move on when life deals you a heavy blow.
Its not about how hard you can hit, its about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.
I, like Rocky, feel like I still have some 'stuff' left in me and am searching for direction. I, unlike Rocky, am not 50+ years old though and haven't done jack yet in life. Thus, I should have alot more 'stuff' than he does. Its about heart, thats what made him a champ. I need dig deep.
Anyways enough nonsense for tonight.
What I realize about my goals for 2007 is that they must be concrete and identifiable. You can't just say "be more productive" -- you have to spell out the details. Here are my details to help myself this year:
1) Sleep before midnight every work night.
2) Wake up early every morning before 8am every day for work.
3) Do not put things on the backburner, take the time to get them done, or forget about them.
4) Focus at work and on work!!
